Hi Carol, Thank you for the recent email and all the others you send! My friend Darlene Gibson’s mother passed away last Friday in Rhode Island where she and her husband pastored for many years. Irene Thomas Gooding was a June 1939 graduate along with my mother ![]() ![]() Here is the link to her obit. It’s the one from the funeral home and is a much more detailed one than the one on Legacy. The article doesn’t say, but last I heard, they will inter her remains in NN at the Greenlawn Cemetery on Saturday. http://www.hillfuneralhome.com/home/index.cfm/obituaries/view/fh_id/15176/id/3677507 Thanks again. Hope you and yours are doing well. Sherry Hensel Huycke ‘69
Oh, Sherry, I'm so sorry to hear this, but thank you for letting me

My
Faith Looks Up to Thee
Words by Ray
Palmer, 1830
Music by
Lowell Mason (08
Jan 1792 - 11 Aug 1872), 1832
My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee,
Pure warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold sullen stream
Over me roll;
Blest Savior, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
